Having such incredible abilities sounds amazing, but would it have been fun to be Jesus?

He knew that this would happen, but did not use his power to stop it. The things most worth pursuing in life (marriage, raising kids, having a deep spiritual life, etc.) are never going to be fun all the time, because love isn’t just fun and warm fuzzy feelings. The goal of life isn’t to have as much fun as possible before we die, it’s to live a life like Jesus, one that is centered on the love of God. 32:50 no Jesus could heal people, walk on water, control the weather, multiply food, make wine, walk through walls, and wake the dead.
